Herbal Apothecary
2009 – 2010
10 Month Weekend Course

The wise women of the village held the magic because they knew the value and usage of the plants nearby.  It is time now for each village to have the wise women again.  When you, your family, neighbors and friends get sick, injured or diagnosed with a disease what can you do to be a support?  This course teaches the methods, techniques, and applications of  home made herbal products.  It is up to us to be empowered by the plants by knowing how to use them so they may heal us of our inflictions.  How best might they be ingested, administered or applied?  This course takes us back to our ancestor’s earliest use of plants as medicines and brings us forward into the 21st century to create a life supportive herbal apothecary at home.
